SYDNEY PR guru Roxy Jacenko and ex-Labor senator Sam Dastyari could be work colleagues in the near future if this bombshell rumour is correct.
It has been reported that a tight-lipped Channel 10 has commissioned a pilot episode of a show with Dastyari appearing alongside the Instagram-queen, who is the wife of convicted insider trader Oliver Curtis.
Oh boy.
The news comes after Dastyari quashed suggestions he would be returning back to politics.
The Daily Telegraph reported last week that NSW Labor powerbroker Kaila Murnain begged Dastyari to return to the political frontline.

But the former politician appears to have been enjoying the spotlight instead — he’s a regular guest on KIIS FM’s Kyle and Jackie O Show.
New Ten owner CBS stated last year it would introduce a US-style pilot pitch week, where shows can be tested in front of a station’s regular audience.
It is reported that the first one, which Dastyari will star in, is airing next month. But that doesn’t mean the pilot will be picked up.
Jacenko, who has previously admitted to hiring her own paps, is also chummy with the FM breakfast duo.
In February, Jacenko and Curtis spilt the beans over their relationship during a segment. At the time, Curtis lashed out over a kiss between his wife’s ex-boyfriend Nabil Gazal and Jacenko, while he sat behind bars for 12 months.
“It is absolutely disgusting,” he said on air.
“What sort of human being does what actually happened when you move in on a man’s wife while somebody is in jail. It’s a no go.”
In a later interview Jacenko said Curtis’ candid confession did not cause an argument afterwards.
“Actually we were listening to you on the way home and I listened to one of the callers say, ‘Oh my God they’re definitely fighting.’ We weren’t fighting, I was just like, ‘Seriously, you never say anything and you need to become vocal today.’ He’s like, ‘It needed to be said Roxy and today was the day!’.” she said at the time.
